    Avventura grafica a bivi. In questo gioco, a parte che per qualche quick event, non serve abilità: è necessario solo compiere le scelte giuste.
    Personaggi discreti ma un po' bidimensionali, trama semplice portata avanti discretamente.
    Alcune scelte hanno un esito troppo casuale, e dipendono troppo dalla fortuna.
    Ad ogni modo, un gioco da provare perchè originale.

    Until dawn offers a cinematic experience combining aspects from various horror movies and games.

The main story follows a bunch of young over the top adults spending some time in an isolated cabin where they are stalked by some psycho killer but as the game progresses the story changes and becomes more creature survivor type horror. The gameplay is super minimalistic almost non existent, to a degree that can this game be considered a game at all? If this game had a better gameplay and more realistic characters then I would considered it a good game.… Expand

    Ein Horrorfilm in einem Spiel, das die Spieler*innen oft vor Entscheidungen stellt. Es macht sehr viel Spaß sich selbst in einem Horrorfilm wieder zu finden. Das Setting ist zudem super. Die Entscheidungen sind jedoch nicht so bedeutend, wie in vergleichbaren Spielen und die Handlung wird im Laufe des Spiels nicht unbedingt besser (7/10).

    I would not normally play this type of game as I'm not a fan of the genre of story/movie, but I actually found the game to be quite engaging, if in part because I recognized many of the actors in all their CG avatar glory. Some genuine tense moments, the kind of story you should expect if you watch enough movies, but as a video game, I thought what's old was new again in a good way.

    I can usually compliment something about a game at the very least but not this. The story is nonsense, the dialogue is cringe, and it looks and plays terrible. The camera angles are annoying af. Its just designed badly on top of many other problems. Also has performance and frame issues on top of it all.

    Дебютная игра Supermassive явилась для меня разочарованием. И это забавно, поскольку до The Quarry это считалось самой удачной их разработкой. Вроде все элементы на месте, однако их комбинация и пересоленность во многих моментах травит душу.Дебютная игра Supermassive явилась для меня разочарованием.

    The game is so overrated. The main characters are so DUMB!!! We have crazy monsters messing around but NOO ... let's separate GUYS!!! But the creators really managed to express all details of horror genre.

    UNTIL THE END OF THE GAME.

    BEFORE WE BEGIN: I will preface by saying that I played the game on the first PS4, so I got the original experience with consequent console downsides.

    BEFORE WE BEGIN:
    I will preface by saying that I played the game on the first PS4, so I got the original experience with consequent console downsides.

    THE SUN IS SETTING:
    The game begins with a brief prologue, in which we learn about both the various characters and their characterizations, as well as game mechanics such as the butterfly effect, various choices, and the ability to navigate small game maps. The story begins by giving small spurts of curiosity to the player and launching in the immediate twist that will then bring the game's centerpiece to life.

    AVOIDING STUMBLING:
    The gameplay of the game is mainly based on the possibility of choosing various roots, and that of actually being able to decide the fate of the various characters at any point in the game. Otherwise, the game has nothing special except for a few quick time events, exploratory sections where you can collect various collectibles, and a few shooting stages.

    LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOW:
    Visually the game, for being 2015, is neither a gem nor a piece of crap; The facial animations are rather expressionless, but well modeled. The game environments are well done, but simple and monotonous. The graphics are not bad, but cause huge framerate problems anywhere in the game, and finally, the animations are often very clunky and unnatural.

    HEARING WHISPERS:
    The audio side of the game has two sides, the horrible side being that of the voice acting but especially that of the audio mixing, often out of sync or with terrible quality; the other side of the coin is the soundtrack, which has a tremendous amount of work behind it and actually has quality.

    WHY 6?

    CONS:
    In addition to the frame rate and audio sync details, the game often feels dull and monotonous, given the characterization of the characters on huge stereotypes, which make the characters unrealistic and very forced; this combined with the facial animations makes the game really unrealistic. In addition, one always has the feeling, actually true, that everything one is doing, including choices, changes little or nothing about the story, and so it does indeed.
    The biggest flaw is that it turns out to be a very corny horror game, more like a trashy hollywood movie than a real horror game.

    PROS:
    Notes of merit of the game are the good replayability, the fluidity with which the game is played when taken comically and for laughs, since it has little horror and the extra content in the game, which is very interesting.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Can’t fault it! I was gripped the whole time. A game you play multiple times alone or with friends.

    A barely interactive horror film about typical American teenagers. You know, with a cabin. In the woods. And a psychopath. We’ve all seen that, we’ve heard these dialogues, we all know these characters. Still Until Dawn has a pretty good story and is a nice homage to horror flicks and despite being a collection of simple QTE’s can both engage and surprise. [11/2015, p.44]

    It's tense, smart, and able to arouse the player's curiosity until the end. Some design choices are a bit controversial, and the acting is not always spot on, but it's definitely a great homage to horror movies.

    Gameplay-wise, not exactly a killer app, but anybody who looks at those visuals will be dead impressed. Short, but plenty of reasons to replay, and it’s the spookiest game since Alien: Isolation. [November 2015, p72]
